Complications associated with indwelling catheters
Medical and Pediatric Oncology, 1992AbstractBetween 1983 and 1985, 170 consecutive patients received doxorubicin‐containing adjuvant chemotherapy through central venous catheters, and four via a long indwelling catheter in the antecubital fossa.

Biofilms on indwelling vascular catheters
Critical Care Medicine, 1992Some bacteria have a natural tendency to adhere to available surfaces and to form biofilms. Biofilms have been demonstrated on right heart flow-directed catheters, endocardial pacemaker leads, urinary catheters, and other medical devices. In this study, we examined arterial and central venous catheters that had been in place in ICU patients between 1 ...
